.fo is the country code extension for the Faroe Islands. This archipelago of 18 islands, situated in the northern Atlantic Ocean between Norway and Iceland, is a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark, with its own language and flag. The extension can be freely registered from abroad.

It is primarily used by fishing, shipping and tourism businesses operating on the islands, but given its brevity, it could be a good choice for anyone looking for a rare, two-letter extension. There are still plenty of short, evocative names available under this category.
